    I was stationed at Ft. Sill and lived in Medicine Park in 1984. Thank you so much for this walk down memory lane, I so enjoyed this video.

    Well, I must say! I wanted to jump through the screen to your back seat and join you both on this one - what a fantastic little spot. I,d find it so hard to leave there. Just so beautiful and calming. Jim, you melted my heart when you spoke of Debbie being your “best friend and favourite person in the world”. It’s so refreshing to see and hear such beautiful, honest feelings, expressed so openly. Sadly these days we don’t get to see this often enough in relationships. You both have such a beautiful marriage and one for many to admire - you're both a real inspiration for us all. I love you guys. You're my favourite couple on TH-cam. Take care and travel safely.

    Going back to places and seeing changes is emotional but in a good way, to think of where we have personally been leaving, and the changes the area has made. I recently went back across s. Illinois to Mo a place I had not been for 30 yrs and I was extremely interesting to see the changes, and what had remained the same. Memories are renewed, and more questions are risen to the occasion. Thank you for sharing your memories past and present. As always, loved see the rushing water scenes, consistency always gives a sense of security and serenity.

    I really enjoy you guys channel.
    Jim has inspired me to do a bus build. It looks a lot like your bus use to look. Mine is a 1999 Blue Bird TC2000 40ft pusher, not quite as fancy as Joy.
    What made you guys want to stop raising animals, sell everything and travel in a bus? Why a bus instead of motor home?
    Was this your first bus conversion?
    Keep on keeping on! You guys are Awesome !!!! Thanks for sharing your lives with us!

      We are at Keystone Lake for a couple of weeks now. It is a lot of work so don't lose heart. We just both felt like we needed to downsize and we wanted to see a lot of people we have neglected over the years. We feel a bus is much safer (unless you pay a LOT of money) and we could customize the way we wanted, etc. This was our first conversion. Thanks for watching!

    Thanks for sharing this video! We will be visiting soon from out of town. Where is the best place to park to walk this path along the river if you were wanting to take pictures of friends without as many people around? I like the area in the first part of the video before you got to the area with 2 white bridges. Do we look for the Trout Area?

    • @LifeisaJoy
      @LifeisaJoy  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      There is a little pull off on the north side of town. There are trout areas on both ends of town. We are on our way to eat at Old Plantation now. I think you will enjoy it there.

    Beautiful except the Cotton Mouth Snakes I would run like the Dickins if I came across those evil creatures that were relegated to the ground after Adam & Eve disobey God’s warning ⚠️ it’s amazing to see all the Cobblestones are one of my favorites for looking at the different designs and color of the stones with a certain amount of clay mixed into the bricks made with very high heat. It certainly is fitting for the 1920’S ...
